quid pro quo
Does anybody seriously believe that this gives e-signatures
"the same legal force as a pen and ink signature". Really?
The track record of Adobe in DRM is miserable. With watermarking
or print restrictions, it is even pathetic. There
was a time, when a simple unix "convert", a OCR or print to a file would remove
restrictions. Still today searching for "removing encryption from PDF" gives
many methods which work. Having e-signatures stored on multiple clouds
does not convince. It might add a "performance boost" but also complexity
and less security and accountability. What immediately explains the spin is
that "Adopting Azure" gives Adobe a "quid pro quo" for Office integration.
